Happy Children's Day

Celebrate The Kid In You…

14th November…. The mere mention of this date spreads a smile across my face… There are so many sweet memories of my childhood attached with children’s day…. (not that I’m no longer a kiddo, I would always be one…)

Every year on this day our school used to take us for a picnic which was mostly to Nakhrali Dhani(a place situated on city outskirts) and trust me though we used to visit the same place every year still we used to go with the same excitement each time because it was not the venue that mattered rather there were other significant things (read silly now) that mattered like getting an opportunity to wear a coloured dress rather than the boring school uniform, a chance to play with my school friends till late in the evening, that drive from school to the picnic spot in school bus and playing antakshri or dumb shiraz on the way, playing numerous group games like hide and seek, water n ice and fighting about who would give the den this time and then resolving those fight by chanting those silly inky pinky ponky xyz is donkey, Sharing tiffins, fighting for the window seat while journey back home….

Oh I miss it all so much…. Times have changed and from a school going girl with 2 ponytails I have turned into a teacher myself but one thing that has not changed in all these years is celebrating children’s day…. Yes I still celebrate children’s day each year (and will always do)… My mom takes me for an ice cream or a chocolate fantasy treat every year till date and I love it veryyyy much….

Who says we are no longer kids…. After all age is nothing but a state of mind….. We all have a kiddish corner so this children’s day go and celebrate the kiddo in you… Go n pamper yourself…

Happy children’s day….

  6. Happy Children's day to you :) I have forgotten all about it :( The drawbacks of living abroad. Children's day used to be such a fun day, growing up. My school had a lot of innovative and fun ways of celebrating the day. I feel sad that daughter misses all that here.

  9. Haha even I feel that the children in me refused to cover up even after growing up. This year, the arrival of the little one, gets me into the best of my childish spirit :D

    There is always a child in an adult, its just that one has to discover himself all again.

  15. Hi. I so miss my school days but yes who says that we aren't child anymore :)It's bad that our profs don't offer us candies on this day at college and make me miss my school even more. If I'd have my way, I'd remain a kid forever and anyway I think there's a bachpanaa in each one of us. So happy belated children's day :)
